    A Parallel Planet: Discovering Unseen Worlds

    This is a wonderful thing you've got here, Tony. Hats off to you! I was wondering if there are any similar high-tech softwares out there. Don't get me wrong, your program is going to be of big help for the fundamentals, but I have to make an appealing presentation to some people, and...

    A Parallel Planet: Discovering Unseen Worlds

    Imagine if there were another planet similar in mass and volume to Earth on a parallel orbit, on the other side of the sun. Would such a planet disturb the equilibrium of the solar system? And if there were indeed such a planet, how would its existence be known to humans? I believe...
